5-year-old kindergartner absolutely loves redesigning the track and playing with the train.

This is a good train at an unbeatable price.
Packaging/appearance
Was a great bargain, was "used like new" but was still in orignal, unopened packaging.

My biggest gripe and what led me to write a review even though i’m more of a review spectator and not a review writer is how easy it is for these train cars to derail
